“ONE GRAND NATION”

The Capitalist State of Bammel is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Stan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate, cynical population of 1.104 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bammel District of Cloumbia. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Tourism and Woodchip Exports.

The tiger is a protected species, society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, the government snoops on private internet connections, and citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bammel's national animal is the tiger, its national religion is Catholic, and its currency is the craser.

Bammel is ranked 506th in the region and 42,207th in the world for Happiest Citizens.
